Happy New Year!

I remember making a 'Happy New Year' post back in 2011, and lets just say it's very embarrassing to read again. A lot of my old posts are embarrassing too...
Bratz posted on Facebook "Have you Bratzies picked out your New Year's Eve outfits yet?
Hope you all are having an awesome holiday!"    

With this picture attached:

My NYE was alright to be honest. My family went over my grandparent's house and their was a lot of food (not a very good thing because of my ED). I didn't get to see the fireworks because these huge trees were covering everything, so I ended up watching it on tv. 

I wonder what Bratz lines will be coming out this year... Hopefully they will be good ones that are worth the price. (Living in Australia sucks sometimes because a Bratz doll that has nylon hair, recycled shoes and a 'For you!' gimmick toy thing will be about $25 - $30)

Merry Christmas From Bratz Newz!

Merry Christmas guys! I hope everyone who reads this has a very happy Christmas full of food and presents :)

Jade also turned up today to wish you guys a Bratzilicious Christmas!
"Hey guys! It's Kool Kat here. I got you all a very scorchin' present! Enjoy your day!" - Jade

Hmm... I wonder what the present might be?








(I am so so so sorry for the crappy photo. I don't celebrate Christmas so I didn't really have anything to put in the photo. I ended up looking everywhere for any item that is related to Christmas but I only found this sliver decoration thing and ended up making the 'present' by hand. I also took the photo from my iPod and didn't get a chance to edit it as guests are currently over and I'm stuck in my room. :( oh and I couldn't really find an outfit for Jade so I ended up putting a top on top of a dress. I hope it wasn't that noticeable...)

An Interesting Find

So I was YouTube, you know, just doing my thang (that sounded cooler in my head), when I stumbled upon a very interesting video.

(video above ^)

If for some reason you are unable to watch the video, I'll tell you what it's about. It starts off with a girl that looks to be 12-13 years old lying on her bed while talking in Portuguese on her iPad/iPod/iPhone (I'm not really sure what it is). She begins to explain in Portuguese about something that has to do with Bratz and Brazil. At the end of the video, it shows a link to 'www.bratitude.com.br' 

Me being me, I decided to visit the website and see what it's about (if anyone was wondering, the only working link I found to it is THIS). The website let me to this page:

Another video. I watched that one too. The video started off with 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. A whole bunch of girls who seemed to be 12+ were in a line posing, and they were all wearing black t-shirts with the Bratz logo (?). I was really confused at this point, especially when all these girls were getting their hair and makeup done, strutting on a catwalk in front of a large crowd and judges, getting their pictures taken all while Call Me Maybe was playing in the background. 

I was even more confused now, so I done a little research. It turns out that in mid-2012, there was a large competition happening in Brazil. The competition was to find the real life Jade, Yasmin, Sasha and Cloe to star in the 'Bratz Catz' commercial. 


(commercial above with the winners of the competition)

With a little help from Google Translate, here is what I found:

"Which Bratz do you most identify with? Why do you have attitude? These two questions were answered by more than 18,000 girls between 6 and 14 years in the contest Bratitude. Now, four of them will be stars of the business and fashion editorials from Bratz. See how it went:

First Stage: Over 15,000 girls posted their videos and photos on the site www.bratitude.com.br. The people who received the highest number of likes were among the first 50 classified. There were more than 118 thousand likes on Facebook. The girls were successful. 

Second Stage: Thirty-six dressing rooms were installed in different Brazilian cities and more girls might show because they have attitude and deserve to win. Here, over 50 girls were chosen by a committee of judges. Now, the team was complete.

Third Stage: The committee chose among the 100 classified. 20 girls participated in the grand final.

Fourth Stage: The Grand Final. A parade in Sao Paulo marked the last stage of Bratitude. With live coverage by social networks, four girls were chosen to represent Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin."

I know this is really late as it happened last year, but when I first found out I was pretty shocked to be honest. It seemed so cool to me, and I hope they do this in other countries too.

Makeover Nearly Done

As you can tell by the new header and background, the makeover is nearly complete. Right now I am currently adding new pages, so stay tuned!

(Sorry for the short post, I thought I'd update on how the makeover is going in case anyone thought I had abandoned this blog... again. I don't blame you though.)

UPDATE

 I miss this blog so I've decided to finally finish off the makeover that I've been delaying since August last year. Don't expect any promises, as I procrastinate a lot and have been quite busy lately. I have also gotten a new Bratz doll that I would be reviewing soon (with pictures!), but it's currently on layby and it's not a very interesting doll... Let's just say I got it for $10 (IT WAS ON SALE AND I ONLY HAD $15. I can feel you all judging me right now eheheh) and it's Yasmin for once. Most of the time I get Jade's, but I decided to get something different.

Well the point of this post was that I am giving this blog a huge makeover, and hopefully it won't take more than a year like last time... oops. Also please excuse the state of this blog at the moment.

 AND THE CRAPPY HEADER THAT TOOK ME TWO HOURS TO MAKE BUT ENDED UP BEING TOO SMALL.

Sorry 'bout that ^

See ya Bratzies!

That felt very weird typing 'Bratzies'.

oKAY I'LL BE GOING NOW

Bye.

EDIT: I just realized that I didn't end up putting the crappy header that took two hours to make. My bad. So instead I'm going to upload it here if anyone was wondering how it looked like.
 Yes, I can feel you guys all cringing right now at my horrible editing skills. Hopefully the next header will end up being way better,
